Five other vehicles took home awards across the program’s six categories. Winners were announced March 27, 2024, at the New York International Auto Show.
2024 World Car Awards winners
| Category | Winner | Finalist score or tally |
|---|---|---|
| World Car of the Year | Kia EV9 | 809 |
| World Luxury Car | BMW 5 Series / i5 | 789 |
| World Performance Car | Hyundai IONIQ 5 N | 823 |
| World Electric Vehicle | Kia EV9 | 804 |
| World Urban Car | Volvo EX30 | 797 |
| World Car Design of the Year | Toyota Prius | 302 |
The category results and figures are from the official 2024 voting results. Scores in the first five categories are finalist voting totals; the design award uses a ranked-vote tally, so its 302 points are not directly comparable with the other figures.
How the 2024 winners were chosen
The awards season runs annually from May 1 through April 30. The 2024 results were announced on March 27 at the New York International Auto Show, as recorded in the official award timeline.
According to Kia’s official announcement of its double win, the jury comprised 100 international automotive journalists from 29 countries. Jurors voted by secret ballot, drawing on their professional evaluation of eligible vehicles, and KPMG tabulated the results.
